Hi, just curious why the random generator for this almost always has a number for the first character? I always change it but this seems odd.

Thanks

Hello,

I think you simply got unlucky. We're currently using Joomla API to create a random 8 chars string:

$this->wafconfig['adminpw'] = \JUserHelper::genRandomPassword(8);

So I think it's just a coincidence.

OK, so that makes sense. Yes, I usually get the number first but always change it to a letter.

Thanks
